Clubhouse - Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR)
Clubhouse - Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Clubhouses are comprehensive communities that provide a wide variety of opportunities for members. Program participants are called “members” because it is a term that gives more inclusivity, ownership, dignity and respect than other terms used in clinical models. Clubhouses follow an egalitarian, non-clinical model where there are no psychiatrists or counselors. Rather, Clubhouse staff engage member colleagues to work side-by-side to accomplish a wide variety of tasks necessary to run the Clubhouse. Clubhouse colleagues use a strengths-based approach and utilize this talent pool of membership to carry out the work. This sends the important message that each member is valued, wanted, and needed.
Opportunities include:
- participation in the meaningful work of the work-ordered day
- relationship building with fellow colleagues (members and staff)
- paid employment in the community through Transitional Employment, Supported Employment, and Independent Employment
- social and recreational opportunities in the community on evenings, weekends, and holidays
- educational connections, resources, and support
- member to member support through outreach calls and visits
- additional connections to community resources for a wide variety of supports including housing, medical, legal, financial, nutrition, and much more
- wellness activities through various Clubhouse-wide initiatives
- setting and achieving individual recovery goals
Clubhouse communities are connected together through a worldwide movement. There are 45 Clubhouses in Michigan, and over 330 Clubhouses around the world.
